J. P. Sauer & Sohn announced the introduction of the ultralight carbon-fiber S101 Highland XTC to its extensive hunting rifle lineup — weighing just 5.4 pounds in the .308 Win. version. The S101 features a hand-laid, carbon-fiber stock with advanced recoil absorbing properties. The barrel is fluted and threaded for additional weight reduction and cold-hammer forged for guaranteed precision of less than 1 MOA at 100 yards. The barrel and receiver also feature Sauer’s Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) surface for maximum corrosion protection. Additional features include a crisp match-grade trigger, fluted bolt and Sauer’s Dura Safe direct firing pin safety. The Sauer S101 Highland XTC is available in all current S101 series calibers in barrel lengths of 20 and 22 inches, depending on caliber. MSRP: $3,000. Contact: www.sauer.de/en/
